Simmons Silhouette 24x?

I can’t find any info on these. The little info I can find says they were made in the 90’s. It’s marked Japan Model 1078 on one side and has a picture of a Ram on the other. The bell is marked with rimfire and high power silhouette distances (40, 60, 77, 100, .....etc). Anybody remember these or know about them? I’m sure the glass is fine but I’m concerned with repeatability. Any info is appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

Was my first sb Silhouette scope,I think it was 15x.Sold it when going to 6.5 EFR.
Had to give money back to guy who bought it,a friend.Turret came apart.
I would avoid.

I had one back in the 90s and the glass was milky.

Well that’s disappointing. I was hoping I found a solution for not being able to find an older 1/4” per click T24.

Thanks for the info,
Mike.
